IBM AIX

WebSphere Portal Server Version 6.1.0.5 and 6.1.5.2 (AIX)

This page describes the minimum product levels that need to be installed before opening a problem report with IBM WebSphere Portal Technical Support. The software versions and any maintenance levels listed on this page have been explicitly verified as working.

EARLIER LEVEL OF A LISTED SOFTWARE: Software versions at a lower level than those noted on this page are unsupported. LDAP software at an earlier level is considered untested and best effort support only. For more details and exceptions, refer to the WebSphere Portal 6.1.x Support Statement [http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wpdoc/v6r1m0/topic/com.ibm.wp.ent.doc_v6101/overview/inst_req_supt.html]. Also see the listing of software explicitly not supported for use with WebSphere Portal 6.1.x in WebSphere Portal Support Statement Addendum - Unsupported Products [http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=688&uid=swg27012957] (#7012957 [http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=688&uid=swg27012957]).

LATER LEVEL OF A LISTED SOFTWARE: Because other products frequently ship fixes, updates, and new releases, testing every configuration is not possible. In general, you can install and run with updates to supported products if those updates are compatible with the tested versions. For more details and exceptions, refer to the WebSphere Portal 6.1.x Support Statement [http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wpdoc/v6r1m0/topic/com.ibm.wp.ent.doc_v6101/overview/inst_req_supt.html].

Question:
Does Portal 6.1.x support Oracle 12c?

We are running Portal Server v6.1.0.6 and I need to know what the newest version of Oracle that is supported with the WPS 6.1.0.6?

Specifically, if Oracle 12c is not supported, what version of Oracle 11g is?

Answer: Oracle 11gR2 V11.2.0.1 (including RAC)


IBM Deletion of virtual portal fails with transaction timeout - United States virtual portal; timeout; delete; portlet; EJPAH4000E; EJPEB0804E; rollbackexception; admin; WTRN0006W TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)

PROBLEM
Attempt to delete virtual portal via Virtual Portal Manager portlet fails with error:

EJPAH4000E: Failed to delete virtual portal

Attempts to delete the virtual portal using the ConfigEngine task "delete-virtual-portal" may fail as well.

CAUSE
With the introduction of Managed Pages in WebSphere Portal 8.0, virtual portal deletions require more transaction time when removing from the system. This increased transaction time can lead to an error situation if either of the following timeouts is exceeded:

 * the total and/or maximum transaction lifetime timeout value(s) for the server
 * the WCM component's transaction timeout

DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM

RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
1. Increase the total transaction lifetime timeout and maximum transaction timeout values (for example, to 600 seconds or greater) using the instructions in the Related information section below.

2. If the problem persists after addressing the change in suggestion #1 and the error in SystemOut.log shows that the timeout still occurs after 120 seconds (as opposed to the increased value that you just set), then update to Cumulative Fix (CF) 9 or later to get the fix for APAR PI04872 and then add (or update if already exists) the following custom property to the WCM_WCMConfigService Resource Environment Provider:

Name: wcm.transaction.timeout

Value: 600 (for example)

Note: There is not a target value for a transaction timeouts that applies to every customer environment. The goal should be to find a value that allows the virtual portal deletion to succeed but does not introduce significant delay in being alerted for other transaction timeouts.

Question: Why does the transaction time out when I try to delete a virtual portal? Transaction timeout occurs when I try to delete a virtual portal. Managed pages is enabled.   Why?

Answer:
With the introduction of Managed Pages in WebSphere Portal 8.0, virtual portal deletions require more transaction time when removing from the system. This increased transaction time can lead to an error situation if either of the following timeouts is exceeded:

 * the total and/or maximum transaction lifetime timeout value(s) for the server
 * the WCM component's transaction timeout

-----------
Defect: 210286
Abstract: Update model for VM PARTITION
Additional information: For "Free_Space" and "Used_Space" attributes, the
default aggregation is defined not as AVG but as SUM. It usually
works as expected but if there were two entries which have same
"Timestamp", the "VM_PARTITION" attribute group's data is shown
with doubled values.
Defect: 212729
Abstract: Drill through feature is not working in VE 7.2 FP2 reports
Additional information: A few VMware VI reports are showing the following
message, when we try drill through by clicking on report chart:

Defect: 212924
Abstract: Unsorted resources e.g.Cluster on parameter selection page
Additional information: Most of the VMware VI reports sometimes display
unsorted resources (viz. Data Center, Cluster, Host Servers, VMs
etc.) on parameter selection (aka prompt) page.
Defect: 212925
Abstract: Incorrect caption/label for Host Server resource parameter
Additional information: Incorrect caption/label for the resource parameter
e.g. In Network usage by VMs report, the "Host Server(s)" drop
down list title needs to be corrected as "Host Server" as user
can select only one host in this report.

2.3 Enhancements
------------------
Feature: 210245
Abstract: Enhance model to add SAMPLES.
Additional information: Add SAMPLES query item/column for each summarized
attribute group view (viz. Hourly, Daily, Weekly and Monthly)
in existing VMware VI Agent reports data model.
Feature: 213018
Abstract: RFE 60331: Require a new report for Cluster Utilization Details
Additional information: Require a new cluster level report like the Host
Server Utilization Details report, which is useful and included the
actual data points from the graph at the bottom of the report.
Defect: 213084

IBM JDBC driver or database insufficiencies cause administration portlets to fail. - United States RT0002E; JDBC; database; driver; RepositoryException; PLS; EJPAS0017E TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)

PROBLEM
You attempt to create a new page via the Manage Pages portlet or add a portlet to a page via the Edit Layout portlet and encounter an error.

SYMPTOM
SystemOut.log contains:
... DefaultTransa E Message: Could not save object in repository.,
Cause: javax.jcr.RepositoryException: RT0002E: Error while calling a function createItems of PLS data manager
com.ibm.workplace.wcm.services.repository.RepositoryException:

function createItems of PLS data ...

or:

EJPAE0015E: Failed to add new portlets.
...
EJPEC0002E: The transaction has been set to rollback state...

CAUSE
The JDBC driver does not meet WebSphere Portal v8's prerequisites.

DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM
Check SystemOut.log for the database server version and JDBC driver version:

DSRA8204I: Database product version : ...
InternalGener I DSRA8205I: JDBC driver name : ...
InternalGener I DSRA8206I: JDBC driver version : ...

Compare these to WebSphere Portal v8's prerequisites. Refer to the WebSphere Portal V8.0 detailed system requirements link below.

RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
If the database server and/or JDBC driver do not meet WebSphere Portal v8's prerequisites, upgrade or downgrade the component(s) to the appropriate supported level(s) and restart the Portal server(s).

If upgrading the JDBC driver requires replacing the .jar with another differently named .jar, other components in the system that referenced the older .jar may be affected. Pay special consideration to:

WAS Integrated Solutions Console > Environment > WebSphere Variables
VMM_JDBC_CLASSPATH
ORACLE_JDBC_DRIVER_PATH

These are stored in: <profile>/config/cells/<cell name>/variables.xml

Other WebSphere variables may also reference the older .jar, or these same variables may be set in different scopes, so check other variables and variables.xml files as well, such as: <profile>/config/cells/<cell name>/nodes/<node name>/variables.xml

IBM How Connect TDWC 9.3 to TWS Engine lower level release - United States dwc 93; connect; SSL ; TLS TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)

PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
 DWC 9.3 users cannot connect to TWS Engine lower level releases (8.5.1 until 9.2)

SYMPTOM
Unable to connect to TWS 8.5.1 ,8.6 or 9.1/9.2 from DWC 9.3.

Check the WAS SystemOut.log for error :

SSL0080E: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException - The client and server could not negotiate the desired level of security. Reason: Server chose SSLv3,
but that protocol version is not enabled or not supported by the client. javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: Server chose SSLv3, but that protocol version is not enabled or not supported by the client.

CAUSE
DWC 9.3 is packaged with WAS 8.5.5.4 and due to known vulnerabilities has SSLV3 disabled. However TWS 9.2 and earlier versions use SSLv3 by default and so the DWC 9.3 cannot connect

RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
You can solve this problem by configuring your TWS engines to use TLS instead of SSL :

Backup and edit :

TWA_HOME/WAS/TWSProfile/config/cells/TWSNodeCell/security.xml

Find sslProtocol and change "SSL_TLS" to "TLS"

Find ssl.protocol and change value="SSL" to value="TLS"

Backup and edit :

TWA_HOME/WAS/TWSProfile/properties/ssl.client.props

Find com.ibm.ssl.protocol=SSL and change to com.ibm.ssl.protocol=TLS

Backup and edit :

TWA_HOME/WAS/TWSProfile/temp/ssl.client.props

Find com.ibm.ssl.protocol=SSL and change to com.ibm.ssl.protocol=TLS

Stop and restart WAS.

*Be aware that your Engines are now using TLS and so you must also reconfigure any DWC 9.2 or 9.1 installations that need to connect to those engines. You would change them to use TLS in the same way as above but also by the same changes in these copies of security.xml and ssl.client.props :

TWA_HOME/JazzSM/profile/config/cells/JazzSMNode01Cell/security.xml

TWA_HOME/JazzSM/profile/properties/ssl.client.props

TWA_HOME/JazzSM/profile/temp/ssl.client.props

Please consider that since you configure with TLS the WAS of TWS Engine also the Dynamic Agent can be impacted.

See technote 1689332.

Question:
TWS / DWC and WebSphere 8.5.5.4+ WebSphere for TWS & DWC were upgraded to 8.5.5.4 on most servers in a particular environment. However, any TWS servers that still had 8.5.5.2, could no longer be seen by the new DWC / WAS 8.5.5.4 servers. Those lower WAS version engines could not be added to the DWC.

Errors seen are:

     AWSUI0833E The operation could not be completed. There has been a communication failure.
     The internal message is: AWSJCO005E WebSphere Application Server has given the following error: Error getting WsnNameService properties.

What is the reason?

Answer: DWC 9.3 is packaged with WAS 8.5.5.4 and due to known vulnerabilities has SSLV3 disabled. However TWS 9.2 and earlier versions use SSLv3 by default and so the DWC 9.3 cannot connect

IBM Automatically renew trusted credential - United States security; trusted credentials SSO renew TECHNOTE (FAQ)

QUESTION
 How do I choose the value to use for the Security > Authentication > Automatically renew trusted credential setting?

ANSWER
For IBM Cognos Business Intelligence(BI) deployments that do not implement a single sign-on (SSO) solution, stored credentials used for running scheduled activities can be automatically updated. When a user logs into the IBM Cognos BI application with a user name and password, the trusted credential used to run schedules when not logged in will be refreshed as well. This removes the burden from the end user of having to remember to manually refresh their trusted credentials and may eliminate failed activities caused by changed or expired user credentials.
The credential refresh behaviour is controlled by the Security > Authentication > Automatically renew trusted credential setting in Cognos Configuration.

 * Primary namespace only (default setting): When you log on to the first namespace of your session, if you have trusted credentials for that account, the credentials are updated for the primary account only. All other credentials for other namespaces are not updated.

 * Off: Credentials are not updated in any namespace.

 * All namespaces: When you log on to the first namespace, your credentials are updated as described for "Primary namespace only". When you log on to additional namespaces, if your trusted credentials associated with the primary account contain logon information for that namespace, then those trusted credentials are updated. NOTE: Do not use the All namespaces option if users authenticate into secondary namespaces as different users.

A user's trusted credentials for a namespace will only be renewed once per day.

It is NOT possible to use SSO with the feature 'Automatically Renew Trusted Credentials' found in Cognos BI. The reason for this is due to the following:

"A trusted credential is special because the namespace credentials it stores must be usable at any time, not depending on any timestamp. This rules out SSO tickets like Kerberos tokens or SAP tokens as they will expire after a short time and will become unusable. A suitable trusted credential therefore usually is a pair consisting of a user name and a password. However, for SSO based authentication to IBM Cognos BI, there is no password available to the namespace that can be stored into the trusted credential. Therefore, this feature will only work for basic authentication, when the user provides a user name and password to the login screen." RELATED INFORMATION

Question: Scheduled reports fail after changing password Scheduled reports fail after changing password

Answer:
For IBM Cognos Business Intelligence(BI) deployments that do not implement a single sign-on (SSO) solution, stored credentials used for running scheduled activities can be automatically updated. When a user logs into the IBM Cognos BI application with a user name and password, the trusted credential used to run schedules when not logged in will be refreshed as well. This removes the burden from the end user of having to remember to manually refresh their trusted credentials and may eliminate failed activities caused by changed or expired user credentials.

IBM How to Rollback From a Fix Pack or Interim Fix to an Earlier Build - United States uninstall; revert; downgrade; hotsite; HS; out; fixpack TECHNOTE (FAQ)

QUESTION
 There may be times when there is a need to remove a previously installed Fix Pack or Interim Fix (hotsite) and revert to the original installed version. This document describes how to roll back an installed Fix Pack or Interim Fix applied to Cognos BI.

ANSWER
Assuming create backup was selected, there will be a folder with the backup under the uninstall directory. Use these files to roll back. In version 10.2.1 FP1 and above there is no option to create a backup, instead backups are automatically created in the <cognos_install>/bkp directory.
Note that the backup directories only contain copies of all individual files that were modified by the fix pack or interim fix, not the entire contents of the original directory.

Care must also be taken when removing interim fixes to ensure that there weren't later interim fixes applied which also contain some of the same files. It is recommended that a full system and content store backup be performed before attempting.

Steps:

 1. Stop the Cognos service and ensure that Cognos Configuration is not running.
 2. When setting up the configuration of a newly installed Cognos BI environment, it is important to note that if you configure the new installation against the original content store, it is permanently upgraded to the new version and can no longer be used in the original environment. As a result, always create a backup of the content store prior to upgrading.
    If a roll back to the original version is required, you can simply restore the backup. However, any work done after the content store has been upgraded (reports, models, security, etc...) to the new version will be lost, as all of this information is saved in the content store.
    If you try to revert back to an earlier environment configured against the upgraded content store, you will get an error similar to the one below:
    CM-CFG-5027 Unable to upgrade the content store to the to the version N that is compatible with this version of Content Manager. The current version of the content store is M.
 3. Also, please refer to the notes on the fix pack which would include perquisites on Backup/Restore of content store and also other requirements.
 4. For versions 8 - 10.2.1: In the <cognos_install>/uninstall/backup directory there will be a list of date stamped folders with the applied fix packs and/or interim fixes.
    For versions 10.2.1 FP1 and above: This is stored in the <cognos_install>/bkp directory
 5. Go into the folders and check the cmplst.txt file and check for the correct version to revert to.
 6. Once the correct version is found, copy the contents of the whole folder and paste it at the <cognos_install> level, which will overwrite the files applied by fix pack or interim fix update.
 7. Start the Cognos service.
